O God, you search me and you know me.
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze,
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.🎼🎼🎼

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Like the one leper who returned to give thanks to God (Lk 17:11-19), today I too fall at the feet of Jesus and give thanks - for my creation, for my family, friends & acquaintances, rich & poor, immigrant & citizen. You make my life what it is! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Daniel interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's dream about the future (Dan 2:45b). Jesus predicts the future in apocalyptic lingo (Lk 21:5-11). We need not look for future predictions. We know that someday our life on earth will end. But our eternity is secure with the God of Jesus Christ.

In the last week of the liturgical year, the focus is eschatological. The poor widow, who put two small coins into the treasury (Lk 21:1-4), teaches us that not only at this time, but each day, we must give life everything we've got. It is the best way to live a life of faith.

Who God is and what religions make God to be can be two different things. When Jesus entered the temple he saw the kind of religiosity that made him say: "...you have made it a den of thieves" (Lk 9:45-46). The best way to avoid this is to stay true to the God Jesus revealed - Love.

Another interpretation of "Parable of the Gold Coin" ((Lk 19:11-28) is that one who did not invest the money is the real hero because he refused to participate in the unjust system of the king who "harvested what he did not plant." Rather God's gift is for love of God and neighbor.

"Thank you" and "Please.""
Let us be people with good manners.
